I was toying with the idea of coming to Portland, OR in late July to meet some friend from my June 2000 online birth club. I think it may be kismet - someone up there wants me in the Pac NW this summer.

How funny. I have a friend in Seattle (and one in Reno - - flight stopover? [;)]) from my July 2002 online playgroup. I'll be making the trip a 'two-for-one' as well! LOL

How are the meeting plans coming? I really am looking forward to it and seeing all of you ladies, bow down to the goddess of this site and just give everyone TONS of hugs. Oh, also go out for drinks....is Catherine coming? I don't know why I thought of that but I can really picture drinking with her and I really want to meet Nancy, Laura, Anne, ...gosh! Everyone!!!!

At the very least--we will have a Diva Weekend!! But we are just getting started trying to plan something. If you are on the East Coast, the HELLP Syndrome Society is hosting a conference as well in June. We are discussing co-sponsoring that as well so you would have two options to choose from. Encourage you all to email me your thoughts but yes--we will be meeting up with ALL y'all. No bowing though--hurts my knees.
